- Release notes for FastEcho 1.45a
- ================================
- Copyright (c) 1991-1995 by Software Technik Burchhardt. All rights reserved.
-
- Welcome to this intermediate release of FastEcho, which is a bug fix of the
- previous 1.45 release as of June 1995. Not all functions for 1.50 have been
- implemented yet, a lot more features are about to come, amongst them is
- support for PCBoard and Wildcat! I expect to release 1.50 in the first half
- of 1996, probably in the first quarter.
-
- Due to internal changes the configuration file structures are incompatible
- with the FASTECHO.CFG file of FastEcho 1.41/g and prior! Therefore you can't
- use the old tools reading this file (FETool <=1.42, FEConv <1.50 etc), there
- should be updates available real soon. Contact your nearest FastEcho support
- sites, they always have the latest versions available. The new configuration
- structures are available as FECFG145.ARJ (C and Pascal). These changes can be
- expected to be final, only small additions will be made later which should
- keep any new version basically backwards compatible.
-
- As far as I know there are 3 message editors available which directly support
- FastEcho - timEd, GoldEd and Fleetstreet. The latest GoldEd beta6 is able to
- read the new config file, so are the latest Fleetstreet releases and the
- lastest timEd gamma. You can use F2READER (which should be available as
- F2R*.* at any FastEcho support site) to create so-called 'include-files' for
- both, older GoldEd and timEd releases.
-
- Included you will find an update to the first public release of a completely
- rewritten FastEcho manual (thanks to Marco Piazza who spent a lot time and
- work on it)! There have been quite a lot changes since the 1.45 release,
- though, it still may not be 100% accurate in some places. If you find some-
- thing, send your suggestions to Tobias Burchhardt (2:2448/400) or directly to
- Marco Piazza (2:2448/400.7).
